Huh? It's a hobby and form of transit. What's there not to understand? In most places, including the majority of the USA the right to use bikes on the road is the law. Even though it's not the norm, they're entitled to use the road, just like a car. It helps keep you healthy, and you feel the fresh air and world wiz by you. Somewhat like a motorbike. Interestingly, I harbor some of the same sentiments regarding motorbikes, as you do for bicycles. I have to admit this is hypocritical, and maybe a bit bigoted (though I'm not a cyclist). I guess you could say it's green, but I think that argument could be made for motorbikes too. Anyway, I don't think I'd hold another driver responsible for causing an injury/death either way, unless it was a really horrible error, and/or that type of event was likely to harm someone anyway. I agree about dedicated lanes, but even those can be pretty scary. Would really like to see divided lanes also, when possible.
